What was that??!!

20 years ago

a bug, a big brown bug with wings flews into my girlfriends moms car and scared the hell out of her. with some motavation i eventually got him out. i live in massachusetts. i was looking at him face to face. he had 2 big black eyes in the front on his head. he almost looked like a spider but he jumped and flew around with a loud buzz. he had two legs in front that had a more dominate looking use than the others, like mandables. and he would bob and shake too. he fell on his back and looked like a cockroach. if anyone has any idea what the hell the thing was, well it would cure my curiousity. it was some kinda speetleroach??

This is a fairly good description of the looks and sounds of a cicada; their eyes are more prominent than a beetle's, a beetle being another possibility. A giant water bug would fit also.

I'm more curious about the "some motivation". Was this from the girlfriend, Mom, or both?

No Google results for speetleroach, you own that one.

I see now that you were motivating the bug! I've never seen a live one. Water bugs can bite painfully.
